How Can Jehovah's Witnesses Take Themselves So Seriously?

I don't get it.

They're wrong about almost everything they say. They flip-flop on dates, chronology, prophecy, Bible understandings........

Because even when you are wrong, the only way to be taken seriously is to take yourself seriously.

I know but there's no contriteness, no embarrassment.

minimus, there is embarrassment, but its not dare shown. but its there and i feel it shall be the WTBS undoing

Scarred for life

I don't know but they ALWAYS have. That's my memory. That bravado is a large part of being a JW. I think it's one reason it's so hard to leave. You have to break through that bravado.

I agree Minimus. It's hubris. Nothing more.

The GB can go on the platform with a straight face and utter their complete dumbass bullshit, as do their underlings.

They are like politicians, if they show any weakness they will lose all credibilty.

Broken Promises

Did YOU take yourself seriously as a JW, Minimus?

I quit!

If they repeat what the Watchtower tells them to believe loud enough and often enough then maybe they will be able to believe it themselves.
